Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
0.75 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups cold water

Instructions

Preheat your oven to a precise 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to ensure even baking.
In a 9x13-inch ungreased baking dish, sift together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Create 3 distinct wells within the mixture. Carefully pour oil into the first well, vinegar into the second well, and vanilla extract into the third well. Gently pour cold water over the entire mixture, then thoroughly combine all ingredients with a fork until well mixed.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean, typically requiring 30 to 40 minutes. Once cooled, generously frost with your preferred icing or topping for an extra touch of sweetness.
